Missouri vs Marquette Prediction

In this Missouri vs Marquette prediction, Marquette is coming in as -1.5 favorites. Both teams have identical records this season and both have been excellent on the defensive end, allowing just 119 points per game combined off their opponents. Marquette’s all three games this season have gone under the total and they have been struggling to make shots from the field even though they are averaging 80+ points per game and they will have trouble against a strong Missouri defense. I cannot see where the offense will come from in this game, so take the under.
